13. Is If Lawful for a Man to Divorce His Wife? IS IT LAWFUL FOR A MAN TO DIVORCE HIS WIFE? MARK 10:1-16 On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus is continuing to reveal his mission as the Christ and his commission for those who desire to be his disciples. He has delivered the call to radical self- denial (8:34) which is a call that has been confirmed by God in his command from the cloud to “Listen to [His Son]” (9:7). As Jesus continues on the way to fulfilling his mission, his teaching becomes increasingly specific in regard to what radical self-denying discipleship looks like (9-10). And perhaps nothing requires more practical and continual self-denial than our commitment to faithfully love and commit ourselves to our spouse in marriage. In this section (10:1-12), we read that the journey to Jerusalem has brought Jesus to “the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan” (10:1). As was his usual routine and custom, Jesus takes time to teach the crowds that had gathered there. As he’s teaching, a certain number of religious leaders come up to him and ask a question concerning divorce. We are told from the account that their question was not one of sincerity but was rather a question that they were hoping would trap Jesus into saying something condemning or controversial. In their effort to “test” Jesus, the Pharisees ask, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” Now before examining this particular portion of Scripture, it should be acknowledged that divorce is an extremely controversial subject that reaches into the depths of people’s souls at levels far beyond where other topics might go. It can trigger emotions of guilt, anger and great pain, and the truth of the matter is that many of us have been impacted by it directly or indirectly (whether it’s your parents, close family, friends, your own marriage, etc.). And so, with that in mind, we ought to always approach this subject with serious caution and with the truth of the gospel — God’s hand of forgiveness and restoration is extended out to you no matter where you’ve been or where you’re coming from. Nowhere in Scripture do we see Jesus denying anyone who comes to him sincerely confessing their sin and repentantly asking for his forgiveness. 2015 | Unlimited Potential, Inc. | Terry Evans Now in looking at this passage, we see the Pharisees possibly trying to trap Jesus into saying something that might compromise or contradict the Law of Moses. The Pharisees believed in a liberal divorce policy in which almost anything could be considered a permissible case for divorce, and they felt confidently that they had the authority of Moses to defend their position. However, Jesus, in his sovereignty, seems to know the motivation of their heart and therefore inquires about what Moses actually commanded. The Pharisees’ response is a reference to a passage found in Deuteronomy which says that a man may write his wife a certificate of divorce if “he has found some indecency in her” (Deuteronomy 24:1-4). By asking Jesus what is lawful, the Pharisees are looking for what is permissible, but Jesus is calling his people to live by what is desired by God and commanded. Jesus redirects the focus of the conversation from what the Law of God permits to what the design of God intends. Jesus reveals the way in which God desires for his people to excel above and beyond what is permissible out of a heart that has been captivated and motivated by God’s own great love for us. Jesus is continuing to communicate the new covenant way of life for those who are considered the new people of God. And as his people, we are to go beyond what is permissible and concern ourselves with God’s design over our own desires. Looking for What is Permissible The Pharisees were a religious group that prided themselves in knowing the Law of Moses. Not only did they memorize, perform and teach the Law of Moses, but they also added a multitude of new laws that were given to instruct the people on how to uphold the original Law. But here is the thing about laws and even the Law of Moses. Laws are given to provide instruction, but in and of themselves, laws will never inspire anyone to go above and beyond what is required. Laws control chaos, but they lack any power whatsoever to enhance our character. In fact, laws are actually what arouses the sinfulness in all of us that then leads us to often look for the loopholes in the law and to begin asking questions like, “Is it lawful?” 2015 | Unlimited Potential, Inc. | Terry Evans Now, Jesus never responds to any traps concerning God’s Law in a way that condemns or contradicts that Law. He didn’t come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5). And as we see here in this passage, his response to the Pharisees upholds the Law of Moses while at the same time challenging his opponents to go above and beyond what the Law requires of us. Jesus has a way of continuing to expose the self-satisfying nature of the Pharisees. They were a people more concerned about themselves and their moral performance than the honor and glory of God. They tended to focus on their own religious performance more so than their relationship with God. However, in their efforts for moral success, they had taken the commands of God and began redefining them and teaching them in a way that was more comfortable and achievable for them. They had a way of looking for what is permissible and accommodating to their own desires rather than what is preferred and in accordance with God’s intended design. And the tragic truth of the matter is that we’re not much different. If we’re honest with ourselves, then we’d have to admit that there is this curious desire inside all of us to know what we can get away with and how to avoid any consequences for doing it. Its like driving around 8-10 mph over the speed limit because we know that is the permissible range in which we can bend the law without having to pay for it by getting a ticket. And we do this with the commands of God constantly. Just like the Pharisees, we begin to subtly look for what is permissible in the eyes of God rather than what is preferred and praiseworthy. So we ask questions like: • What kind of movies or TV shows can I watch and not watch as a Christian? • How far is too far physically before marriage? • What curse words are okay for a Christian to use? • When is it fine to get a divorce? • How much money do I really need to give to the church? 2015 | Unlimited Potential, Inc. | Terry Evans However, as we see in this passage, Jesus doesn’t take pleasure in what is permissible. True disciples of Jesus look to go above and beyond what is permissible and live in accordance with what God has intended and commanded. Living by What is Commanded Jesus responds to this question concerning what is permissible in marriage with a revelation concerning the true intention and design of marriage. And this ought to remind us that no matter the circumstances, you are not ready to discuss the issue of divorce until you have properly understood and accepted God’s view of marriage. Jesus responds with this statement: “Because of your hardness of heart [Moses] wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Mark 10:5-9) Jesus is quick to point out the way in which the passage in Deuteronomy that the Pharisees used to defend their position was actually a text of exception and grace by God and not a text concerning the true intention and desire of God. This was an exception given on account of man’s sinfulness rather than an instruction on how to live in righteousness. According to Jesus, this passage in Deuteronomy wouldn’t even exist if it hadn’t been for the hard-heartedness and sinfulness of man. This law was given to control what the people had turned into a chaotic mess. It actually served as a way to protect women in that culture, and it proved that divorce was something to be taken very seriously. 2015 | Unlimited Potential, Inc. | Terry Evans Today, many people treat sex and marriage like our own appetites for food and drink. We view them through the lens of our own personal pleasure and happiness, and therefore search and sample the menu for what might bring us the greatest delight and satisfaction. We’ve even given into the philosophies of the latest health journals that preach the needed health benefits of regular and active sexual pleasure. While Christ declared freedom to eat and drink what you desire, this is certainly not the case when it comes to sex and marriage. Sex is not primarily designed for our own personal pleasure. It is designed for that, but that is not its primary design. The primary intent and design of sex is the sacred consummating act of uniting two people (male and female) as one holy union and now one holy new entity before God.

  • Covenant of Mount Sinai
    mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com COVENANT OF MOUNT SINAI SUMMARY The children of Israel were slaves in Egypt. The Lord brought them out with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm. He brought them into the desert of Sinai and made them a nation under God, with the right to occupy and live in the Promised Land, AS TENANTS, subject to obedience to the Law of Moses. To have the privilege to continue to occupy the Promised Land Israel must keep: The ritual law concerning the priesthood and the continual offering of animal sacrifices, etc. The civil law concerning rights of citizens, land transactions, execution of justice, etc. The moral law: Love your neighbor as yourself The heart law: Love the LORD your God and serve him only In the Law of Moses there were blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. Penalties for disobedience went as far as being shipped back to Egypt as slaves. All who relied on observing the Law of Moses were under a curse. It is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law” (Deut. 27:26). None of the blessings under the Law of Moses concern eternal life, the heavenly realm, or the forgiveness of sins necessary to stand before God in the life hereafter. The people under the Covenant of Sinai did not even enjoy the privilege of speaking to the Lord face to face. The high priest, who crawled into the Most Holy Place once a year, was required to fill the room with incense so that he would not see the LORD and die.

  • “Washing Your Hands Before Eating.” Actually, It Is a Pivotal Moment That He
    Rev. Glen Mullan The Law of Moses August 29, 2021 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) (Dt 4:1-8; Mk 7) Jesus has an argument with the Pharisees about “washing your hands before eating.” Actually, it is a pivotal moment that helps to define Christianity as a movement distinct from “traditional” Judaism, and it is because of this argument, that Christians today are able to eat bacon with their eggs! At issue is the Law of the Moses, that extensive body of rules and precepts which are set forth in the first five books of the Bible, and summarized by Moses in the book of Deuteronomy. Or rather, at issue is the purpose of the laws, and their relationship to holiness. Jesus – and Christianity – does not actually reject the Law of Moses, including those precepts about washing hands and avoiding pork. In my household, we were taught from childhood to “wash your hands” before coming to the dinner table. Likewise, to wash all the dishes afterward (cups, jugs, kettles), to bathe every day, and to regularly launder the bedding (cf. Mk 7:4). We were quite “Jewish” in this regard. Likewise, we followed very careful rules with regard to the preparation, cooking, eating, and storing of meats, aware that pork has more dangers than beef or chicken. The precepts of the Law of Moses are filled with incredible wisdom which modern science has only confirmed. In the era before electricity and refrigeration, stoves and antibiotics, the rules kept people healthy and strong, and enabled the community to deal swiftly with illnesses and infections.

  • The Angels and the Giving of the Law
    December 2011 • Volume XIII, Issue 20 The Angels and the Giving of the Law There are five texts in the Bible that speak of the angels’ role in the giving of the law at Sinai. The first occurs in the last recorded speech of the 120-year-old Moses, at the start of the penultimate chapter of the Pentateuch—his blessing of Israel—where he tells us that he saw angels on Sinai thirty-eight years ago: ―The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them‖ (Deut. 33:2). David made the other Old Testament reference to angels at the giving of the law: ―The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place‖ (Ps. 68:17). The psalmist tells us that ―twenty thousand, even thousands of angels‖—Moses refers to ―ten thousands‖ (Deut. 33:2)—came as an army (―chariots‖). Like Moses, David also emphasises the impressiveness and awesomeness of the angels on the holy mount. (The psalmist’s reference to ―angels‖ makes it clear that the ―saints‖ or holy ones in Deuteronomy 33:2 are heavenly messengers.) The first believer recorded in the New Testament as referring to angels at Sinai is the deacon, disputer, apologist and martyr, Stephen. As part of his defence before the Sanhedrin, he stated that the Jews ―received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it‖ (Acts 7:53).

  • Who Were the Pharisees?
    Making Life Count Ministries Who Were the Pharisees? www.makinglifecount.net No group in Israel was more dedicated to their religion than the Pharisee. The historian Josephus reports that there were over 6,000 members of the party of the Pharisees, but that number doesn’t include many of their followers. The common Jew looked at the Pharisees with the greatest admiration because no one appeared to be more dedicated to God than this bunch. When a boy in a Pharisee family turned two years old, they would take the scroll of the Law, the Torah, put honey on it, and have him lick it so that his earliest memory would be, “How sweet are Your Words to my taste. Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth” (Psalm 119:103). At four years old he would start memorizing the book of Leviticus. By twelve years old, he had memorized Genesis through Deuteronomy. As a teenager, he memorized the Prophets and the Psalms. If you chose to become a Pharisee, you had to publicly promise to “take the yoke of the Torah” upon you. They vowed to yoke themselves to the Law of God. They kept the hours of prayer wherever they were, whether in the Temple, the marketplace, or the street corner. They would fast twice a week. They didn’t just tithe their money, but tithed on everything they had, even down to their herbs and spices. How can you fault a man for trying so hard to please God? Because of their dedication to God’s Law, you would think the Pharisees would embrace the promised Messiah when He appeared in the flesh.

ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract This article marshals ancient legal evidence to show that Nephi’s slaying of Laban should be understood as a protected manslaughter rather than a criminal homi- cide. The biblical law of murder demanded a higher level of premeditation and hostility than Nephi exhib- ited or modern law requires. The terms of Exodus 21:13, it is argued, protected more than accidental slay- ings or unconscious acts, particularly where God was seen as having delivered the victim into the slayer’s hand. Various rationales for Nephi’s killing of Laban include ancient views on surrendering one person for the benefit of a whole community. Other factors within the Book of Mormon as well as in Moses’ kill- ing of the Egyptian in Exodus 2 corroborate the con- clusion that Nephi did not commit the equivalent of a first-degree murder under the laws of his day.

BEECHER AUBURN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHEN a person gets far enough along to understand that the word torah, law, is sometimes used to desig- nate the Pentateuch as distinguished from those parts of the Old Testament that are commonly called the Prophets and the Hagiographa, he is in danger of assuming that Pentateuch and torah are convertible terms. As a matter of fact this assumption is very common, and leads to many blunders. A study of the usage of the word torah is not superfluous. In five places in the New Testament, including nearly a dozen instances in all, non-pentateuchal passages are cited as written in the law (John 1034 152 1234Rom.

  • The Law of Moses: Feb 18, 2015 Moses on Mount Sinai, Tabernacle Items
    Lesson 13 Wednesday The Law of Moses: Feb 18, 2015 Moses on Mount Sinai, Tabernacle Items This lesson requires a lot of reading so we will keep the questions simple! Our goal for this lesson is to be able to name the items, location and use of the items in the Tabernacle. 1. Ex. 24:1-15, Verse 12 tells us the reason for this trip up the mountain. What was the reason and what was important about what Moses had received? Ex. 24:16-18 tells us again about the inability to see God and we see that Moses was with God for Forty days and Forty nights. Ex. 25:1-31:18 contains laws on the means of worship. Our focus today is on tabernacle items. Ex. 25:1-9 God tells Moses the materials he wants for the temple items. You should keep in mind that the offering is “for me” that is, for God, and not merely for a thing (the Tabernacle). The Tabernacle was symbolically God’s house, intrinsically His property, and not merely a place He and the Israelites could use at their convenience. 2. One verse in Ex. 25:1-9 should stand out to you. Which verse is it and why should it stand out? (Hint: Read 2 Cor 9:7) Ex. 25:10-22 Contain the laws on construction and use of the ark. The size of the ark is given, how it is to be built, the materials used and how it was to be adorned. The ark symbolized God’s presence, His purity, His superiority and His covenant blessing.

  • Matthew‟S and Mark‟S Pharisees
    Matthew‟s and Mark‟s Pharisees By Martin Pickup The Gospels of Matthew and Mark are recognized as key sources of information on the Pharisees, yet any analysis of their data is fraught with difficulty. We are dealing with highly tendentious documents whose interest in the Pharisees lies solely in the fact that, as key opponents of Jesus‘ ministry, the Pharisees serve to set forth Jesus and his teaching in vivid relief. Scholarly debate on the historicity of the material in Matthew and Mark continues, both in regard to what they relate generally about Jesus and his ministry, and in regard to what they relate specifically about the Pharisees. Are we to regard the accounts of encounters between the Pharisees and Jesus as faithful remembrances of actual events, or are we reading idealized material that reflects the issues confronting Christians at the time of the Gospels‘ composition? The dates assigned to these documents play a significant role in this historicity debate. If Mark was written ca. 65 – 70 CE (the common view), it becomes a valuable source of information on the Pharisees prior to 70, even if its specific claims about the Pharisees‘ encounters with Jesus are considered ―idealized.‖ The case is more dubious for Matthew, a gospel which is commonly dated in the 80s or 90s at a time when the Pharisees appear to have risen in prominence and power (though to what extent remains debatable), and a time when the relationship between Jews and Jewish Christians collapsed. That late first-century setting provides a possible Sitz im Leben for Matthew‘s gospel, which suggests to many scholars that, rather than providing historical information about the Pharisees of Second Temple Judaism, Matthew‘s portrayal of the Pharisees is really a representation of the Jewish leadership toward the end of the first century.
